Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Wring excess moisture out of zucchini using cheesecloth or a dish towel.

In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, garlic, oregano, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, and cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until completely combined.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and pat into a crust. Bake until golden and dried out, about 25 minutes.

Sprinkle with remaining 2 cups mozzarella, crushed red pepper flakes, and parsley. Bake until cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes more.

Slice and serve with marinara.
